REACHING THE EIGHT STAGE

Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief. He prepared for the fifth stage. The first thing he did was to heal his injuries using the artefacts. Once he recovered the damages, recovering his Qi was next. He wanted to be at his peak condition before he attempted the stage. It took some time, but with the [presence of Qi pools within the artefact, he was filled to the brim by the end.

Once he did that, Li Meng decided that he needed to change his tactics. He was going to face the Dark Thunder with the help of his body cultivation. Previously he had thought of it as a resource, but now it would be like an adversary with unknown variables. One needs to properly assess the situation before completely controlling and using the enemy for their excellence.
